説明
Performance of multidimensional reductions is not good when the array is highly skewed. For example, a `fold` where the number of columns is (innermost dimension) is very small. See also this thread:

Multidimensional reduction uses one thread block per reduction; so an `(Z :. m :. n)` sized matrix uses `m` thread blocks. If `n` is very small, then many threads in the block sit idle. We could change this to a warp-per-reduction style, which is actually the strategy segmented fold uses. This will likely have a negative impact if `m` is small and `n` large.
It would be possible to generate both variants and choose dynamically which to execute. That implies compiling four kernels per reduction (because fusion; initial vs. recursive step).
